Thanks for all the help.

I'm surprised your father didn't toss the giant air cleaner, especially since it looks like he went with aftermarket exhaust.

Least he didn't have metal flake

I think that's Gummiente's specialty.

Dude, the 80's were a turbulent time for everyone. Let it go.

1979 fxe fatbob

I had a 1979 sportster in that brown so I looked it up and found this maybe anyway

A friend of my Dad's emailed my Aunt some pics she had of my Dad and his bike. Along with some other ones which was a nice surprise as we lost most of them in a house fire.

Here is another one of my dad and his bike.

A bit clearer then the first picture.

Congrats on getting those pics, and thank you for sharing! I will admit I am envious, I am still blessed to have my dad around, but no pictures of him when he used to race in the 50s and 60s. He still has a couple of his enduros stashed in our barn. I really want to get my hands on them and get them running, but due to health reasons he can't really ride anymore. Again, I am happy for you that you obtained those.

I'm glad too.
